"All right.  This is not going to be the last time we run into this issue while we wait on intelligence headbands for the class, so here's my baseline policy proposal to" meliorize "improve from there:"

"This time, I spend extra time tutoring everyone who isn't Carissa Asmodia Meritxel and Ione on 'logarithmic' functions.  Then we take a longer lunch break than usual so everyone can prep spells and in particular prep the crap out of Fox's Cunning.  If there's second-circle spells you'd usually want to have, and won't be getting because of this policy, and they're spells a cleric can cast for you, maybe tell me and I'll start praying for those.  Security, I'm not sure what kind of collective resources all the wizards at this installation have in the way of second-circle spells, but I request at least sixteen Fox's Cunnings available for us to allocate on future days.  Thirty-two would be better."
